What you say is true. We need some serious growth in those areas. The people who handle crew movement for example. Its like 2 people, and they don't work on weekends. It can be enormously irritating.

I am hoping we can help make this a premo turboprop outfit in the future. A union and a contract are a big part of that.

Its got to be hard to get guys to come there, while everyone else is now 600/1. Of course the guys today are going to be driven towards the jets, while they make more money.

They have to do away with that training contract. More pay and better schedules wont come over night, so you have to get creative on hiring. If the Colgans continue to pull what they do during interviews, no one will come there.
I'm not saying drop the mins to commercial multi and a pulse. But something creative, or worthwhile has to be offered pilots, to attract them to go there over the Comair, PCL and Mesa. You know its bad when people are picking Mesa over you, only because Mesa has jets.

Maybe free lap dances for the first year at the local nudey bar?

alpa won't make colgan more attractive quick enough. The hiring shortage isn't coming, it is already here.

Colgan management has to make it more attractive here soon!

You may be right, but we should still get ALPA to represent us. Wouldn't it be nifty if management was itching to give a pay raise and make it more attractive so they could grow the airline. Our contract negotiations last a month and we end up with an awesome contract.

woops, I think I just drank too much beer
